THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

News Corp. [SIC!!!!!] seemed to be using commercial breaks on MyNetwork to head off the TV police at the gate (both "Desire" and "Fashion House" incorporate sexual themes into their storylines). The new network aired promotions for FoxFaith.com, which is a website aimed at selling Fox-produced Christian and family-friendly programming. Another spot was an Ad Council PSA about parental controls -- the spot shows a mother talking to mobsters about violence on TV. The commercial directs parents to a website, TheTVboss.org, which gives advice on using the V-Chip and understanding the rating system.
